That movie was way worse than I expected.

I would like to add on to this rant - why are advertisers so lame that they have to anthropomorphize everything? It's like no matter what you're selling, if you're out of ideas there's always a backup plan of "let's stick a face on it and make it talk."

I swear on Heyzeus' jurisdoctorate that I had a dream where I was pooping volumniously into a large toilet. I think I flushed four times. It was a major crapfest.

What would Freud say about that?

I think that means that you're full of sh*t, and you're scared that someone is going to call your bluff and expose it.

LOL. That or it's a premonition of my better half making a big dish of ex-lax brownies...

The Mucinex talking booger is even more ridiculous than the Nasonex talking bee who sounds like Antonio Banderas.

That's the first one I thought of when ghostrunner mentioned anthropomorphizing everything in ads.

I forget what the ad was for, but the talking toilet lids a few years back was a new low.

That's why I loved the Clucky Chicken ad parody on Saturday Night Live:

Cluckin' Chicken

Clucky Chicken.....Adam Sandler
Dad.....Phil Hartman


[ open on exterior, Cluckin' Chicken fast food restaurant ]

Jingle: "Something's cookin' at the Cluckin' Chicken"

Clucky Chicken: [ popping into the front of the screen ] That's me! [ flies up to a table flled with kids and their Dad ]

Dad: Hey, Clucky - why's the Cluckin' Chicken so chick-a-licious?

Clucky Chicken: Everybody knows why. It's 'cause I'm flame-broiled! Yow-zee-yow-dow! But that's not all - I'm cooked fresh! First my head's cut off! [ the cook chops Clucky's head off and send it flying through the restaurant ] Heads up! [ Clucky's head appears before another chicken being gutted ] Then I'm plucked and gutted - my intestines are pulled out. Trust me, you don't want 'em! Whee! Look at me! I'm gettin' quartered and split breasts, wings, the whole nine yards! Chopitty, chop! Then the pieces of me get flame-broiled. Hear that sizzle? That's me! 550 degrees! Good thing I'm dead, or yow-wee! Then I'm seasoned just right, and ready to go! [ takes a bite of a piece of chicken ] Hey, I'm good! Finally, I'm served to you, so you can chew me, swallow me, and convert me into waste matter. [ peers into the toilet ] Ga-ga-ga-gooey!

[ returns to the kids and their Dad ] Hey, kids, how's the meat?

Kids: [ chewing ferociously ] You taste great, Clucky!

Clucky Chicken: [ head spinning around the restaurant ] Holy fanoley! The oxygen's leaving my brain!

Dad; Any last words, Clucky?

Clucky Chicken: You betcha! [ singing ] "If you want a place for the greatest chicken, take it from my head, it's easy pickin', 'cause.."

Jingle: "Something's always cookin' at the Cluckin' Chicken!"

Clucky Chicken: Being dead never tasted so go-nobbity good!

That's why I loved the Clucky Chicken ad parody on Saturday Night Live:

I loved that for completely different reasons. I can go with a talking chicken, because at least they have faces and are living. But the idea that a any thing would endorse mass slaughter of his own kind always struck me as funny and tragic. Then he tastes himself, which is priceless. The final touch is his floating head talking over the ad, with drops of blood falling off his neck the whole time. One of my favorites, no doubt.
